+ they are a smart streamline frame, light and comfortable

- The Lenses keep falling out, no matter how many times you have a new screw placed in them, a week to a fortnight later, the lense falls out, this has happened on both my distance and reading glasses.

+ Small, good distinctive shape, and stylish.

- Slightly heavy - these were meant as a spare pair so I didn't order the ultra thin lenses, but I like them so much I wish I had now as they're much nicer than my everyday pair. But that little bit of extra weight makes them uncomfortable after a few hours.

Score 9.0/10

+ They are a very good pair of glasses stronger than those that I have bought from my local optician and very much cheaper. This applies also to my last pair of glasses that I bought from you and which I am still using. I have recommended your company to many people and friends abroad would also like to be able to use your service.

- I don't really have any bad points that I can find except that I chose the wrong shape for my face and find that your more rectangular shapes fit my shaped face a lot better. Using the photograph on the computer and fitting glasses to my face is really important and I don't yet have that facility but hope to have it soon.

+ The opportunity to try them on and see what they look like on. Obviously it is hard to try and see what frames look like when you shop in the High Street - even though some shops have a screen you can look at but it was easy to use and remarkably quick considering I don't have broadband. They are probably the first pair of glasses I have actually liked on me when I received them!

- Can't think of any off hand.
